(Anonymous) 2013-10-09 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)Oh come on, the author SELECTIVELY took canon events and USED them to support her pairing. Why not selectively take Ed's aggressively violent CANON nature and draw him to be an abusive asshole who chases away the people he loves most or ruins relationships because he's immune to kindness or reason? Because fandom would rise up and say it's BASHING.
You can try to rationalize all you want but the story is character bashing. Just because the author is sweetly saying Winry is an abusive asshole doesn't change that the author is saying Winry is an abusive asshole. Roy isn't held to the same level of accountability as Winry, and neither is Ed (or anyone else for that matter) for their MORE violent canonical actions and history. The author has specifically chosen an event from one character and *highlights* it as THE defining character trait, trying to completely hang her story on it, and then paints Winry in a repeated negative light because of it. You don't get to pick and choose canon and then villainize a character over a biased characterization without fandom being smart enough to catch on that it's bashing.
My problem (I'm not the OP, btw) with this fic is only partially about interpreting canon. It's about seeing past the author trying to feed me selective canon as whole canon, and trying to get me to fall for a characterization that the REAL author never intended. Character bashing is easy to see, except to the people who appreciate and approve of the bashing.
